Hi,
Interested in attending or helping organising?

I'm interested in a photowalk, but don't know Limerick well enough to help organise, I'm afraid.

How about a provisional date and then try to propose a route (there's a few people that contribute to this photo forum from Limerick) and take it from there?
Saturday, 12th of March good?

Ok, count me in for the moment tho' Ireland play Wales at 17:00 so I want to be home for that.

I'll help organise a route but would need some advice as I've never done a group walk before. What are people interested in taking photos of?

i'll provisionally put my name down for this, depending on the start time. as long as no one minds me faffing about at the back with a load of film cams.

Hi,
I posted a thread here asking for a route and have gotten a few replies.

I've asked for any more suggestions to be posted here.

Here is a summary of suggestions so far:

• The City center is a handy short walk covering King Johns Castle - Treaty Stone and a few nice old graveyards and Churches along he way.
  
• Or you could head out the Canal towards UL for some nice nature stuff.
  
• The river, castle, churches are probably the best option.
  
• Nicholas St., Patrick St etc. make great shots too
  
• ooh if it's a saturday you definitely should start in the milk market. lots of ops there. maybe a quick look-see round cruises street, then down to the river - cross the bridge the turn right towards the castle. you can go in a circle from the castle down past the courthouse and back towards the ellen street/milk market area. that's what i'd do, then if time permitted out towards castletroy along the canal.

Provisional date is Saturday, 12th March. (Ireland are playing Wales at 5pm that day, hope that doesn't put anyone off).
1. Is a 10:30am start too early for people?
2. Are people happy to have a morning walk, break for lunch (any recommendations where) and then an afternoon leg?
Maybe around the city in the morning and then maybe ' head out the Canal towards UL for some nice nature stuff' so we get a mix of photography types. I don't know anything about the canal, someone else just recommended it. Or would people prefer to stay in the city?

I'd like to have a route planned sooner rather than later so we can post to photowalk.ie and tell others about it.

Cheers,
Pa.

If we start near the river there's free parking on Saturday, we could walk to the Milk market via William St or Cruises St, then down to the Huguenot cemetery off Michael St, over around the Hunt Museum and the potato market,, down behind city hall, up to the castle and the Bishop's house, the Toll house and Thomond, bridge, then onto the Treaty Stone and St. Munchins church. Down along the river, if time suit we could have some luch at the Curragower Bar.

We could walk wlak further out along the river to Barrington's pier, up to Kilrush Church off Nth Cir Rd, then along Westfields and back to the cars.

This walk would be about 7km, we can shorten it if needs be.

This seems the most concerete suggestion. I'm not familiar with the places. Is everyone happy with this route or does anyone have any other suggestions or places to add onto it/take away from it?

Hi,
For the photowalk I want to add the listing in photowalk.ie and just want to include a few photos of some of the places we'll be visiting. If anyone has any and you don't mind them being used can you contact me and send me link to the photo(s).

Below is a list of the proposed route, so any photos from any of these spots would be great.

He's already offered that anyone can leave personal belongings in the gallery while we're walking. I'm sure it'll be a focal point of the market for us.

What's this registration business - do we have to register otherwise we can't participate?

dinneenp

On the top left hand corner of homepage there's link for contact.

You dint have to register but if you do it just gives an idea of how many will turn up and you can comment with a link to your photos afterwards etc.

I've asked the guy who set up and runs the site to take a look at the issue.

In that case, I probably won't register - can't be doing with all the issues.

Anyone?
I'd like to change the title of the thread so that people can see that there's a walk planned and that it's not just an idea.
Can anyone please reply to this? or should I create a new thread?
